From 1695 to 1705, rival London theater companies based at Drury
Lane and Lincoln's Inn Fields each mounted more than a hundred new
productions while reviving stock plays by authors such as
Shakespeare and Dryden. All included music. Kathryn Lowerre charts
the interactions of the two companies from a musical perspective,
emphasizing each company's new productions and their respective
musical assets, including performers, composers, and musical
materials. Lowerre also provides rich analysis of the relationship
of music to genres including comedy, dramatick opera, and musical
tragedy, and explores the migration of music from theater to
theater, performer to performer, and from stage to street and back
again. As Lowerre persuasively demonstrates, during this period,
all theater was musical theater.
